Stories similar to Arch and Windows 7 dual boot mixup..

Guys, I wrote an ISO to /dev/sdb1 (My 1TB HD) instead of /dev/sdc1 (8GB pendrive I was trying to make bootable).

I had:

Software:

Dual boot with

Windows XP Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x32

Hardware

Fake RAID 1 (mirroring) with 2x1 TB:

Partition 1 - Windows Partition 2 - SWAP Partition 3 - / (root) Partition 4 - Extended Partition 5 - /home Partition 6 - /data

[SOLVED] how to fix MBR? 15 weeks 1 day ago

I had pretty much the same problem but it looked strange to me as the linux partition was installed in an extended one.Here is the ouput of fdisk -l :Disk /dev/sda: 320.1 GB, 320072933376 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders, total 625142448 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my computer, but at the end of the installation it gave me an error and it didn't install grub2. Now I'm trying to install it using the live cd:

This is my sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders, total 976773168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical):

So I'm using Ubuntu live CD to install Ubuntu next to Windows 7 but it doesn't recognize partitions.

Here is sudo fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 640.1 GB, 640135028736 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77825 cylinders, total 1250263728 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifi

I just set up a new server (Gentoo 64bit with kernel 3.0.17) with 4 x 15000RPM SAS disks(sdc, sdd, sde and sdf), and created soft RAID10 on top of them, the partitions are aligned at 1MB:

# fdisk -lu /dev/sd{c,e,d,f}

Disk /dev/sdc: 600.1 GB, 600127266816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 72961 cylinders, total 1172123568 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physic

Hello,

MBR partition table made by linux fdisk looks certainly not correct when printed by openbsd fdisk:

Partition table created on linux (centos 6.3):
